LETTER FROM August 15, 1995
THE PRESIDENT
Dear Contract Owner:
We are pleased to bring you the semi-annual report of
Templeton Variable Products Series Fund for the period ended
June 30, 1995.
Although problems related to Mexico's December 1994 currency
devaluation cast a bearish pall over the world's financial
markets in early 1995, the second quarter of the year had a
much more bullish feel to it. A combination of slower economic
growth, subdued inflation, falling interest rates, and better-
than-anticipated corporate earnings improved the flow of assets
into mutual funds and benefited many stock and bond markets.
Only Japanese and emerging markets turned in negative
performances, while many others were able to post double-digit
advances. European stocks moved higher as returns for U.S.
investors improved due to the rather sharp decline in the value
of the dollar versus many European currencies. Asian stock
markets other than Japan's also improved, with Hong Kong
leading the rebound from last year's dismal returns. Overall,
however, U.S. stocks were the investment of choice during this
time, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average/(R)/ achieved all-
time high levels.
These conditions presented us with challenges as we searched
for undervalued stocks -- particularly in the U.S. It has also
become more difficult to identify bargain stocks in Europe,
especially in the hard currency countries (Germany, France,
Switzerland, and the Netherlands). We did add to our holdings
of some European banks which, after improving their balance
sheets, should be able to take advantage of a growing demand
for loans. As a whole, however, equity valuations in Europe
have not become so attractive that our "bargain list" is
cluttered with European names.
Asia presented a different story. Because of Japan's and
China's economic problems, investor interest in these countries
was somewhat subdued, and since many Asian countries are
indirectly tied to the value of the depressed U.S. dollar, we
were able to find many bargain-priced stocks in this region. We
took advantage of market volatility by purchasing shares of
Asian banks and Hong Kong-based conglomerates, which should
benefit from development and growth in China and the rest of
Asia.
With regard to fixed-income securities, we emphasized two
primary investment strategies. First, we focused on the hard
currency markets of Germany, Japan, and the U.S. because of
their low debt levels and relative resistance to rising
interest rates throughout 1994. The currencies of Germany and
Japan were among the strongest against the U.S. dollar during
the period, and consequently offered bond investors the highest
returns.
2
<PAGE>
We also concentrated on countries such as the United Kingdom,
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, where monetary policy was
expected to be the tightest, and interest rates the highest.
This second strategy proved beneficial because, as economic
growth slowed unexpectedly, monetary policy in these countries
proved to be tighter than necessary, and interest rates fell
sharply. Although rates have already declined significantly,
further declines are possible in some markets.
Looking forward, we are optimistic about the long-term
prospects for global investing. We believe the moderate
economic growth and stable inflation that characterized the
first half of 1995 may persist into 1996. Economic activity in
the U.S. has clearly begun to slow, but with the U.S. financial
system in good health, corporate balance sheets improving,
interest rates low, and the dollar weak, a long period of
decline does not appear likely. Furthermore, the acceptance of
capitalism by almost all nations, increasingly free trade, and
technological advancements all point toward economic growth and
improved corporate earnings.
We shall continue to implement the investment methodologies
that have served our clients well for so long, and although we
are pleased with our results thus far in 1995, we intend to
intensify our bargain-hunting efforts in our search for even
better potential long-term investment opportunities for our
contract holders.
In closing, we would like to mention that although Sir John
Templeton has not been involved in investment management of the
Templeton Funds since October 1992, we were saddened by his
recent decision to step down as Chairman and Director of the
U.S.-registered Templeton funds. The Fund's Board of Trustees
have elected John Wm. Galbraith, former vice chairman of
Templeton, Galbraith & Hansberger, Ltd. to succeed him. The
investment manager will continue to use the investment
philosophies and principles established by Sir John.
We appreciate your participation in Templeton Variable Products
Series Fund and look forward to serving your investment needs
in the years to come.
Sincerely,
/s/ Charles E. Johnson

TEMPLETON The Templeton Stock Fund seeks capital growth through a policy
STOCK FUND of investing primarily in common stocks issued by companies,
large and small, in various nations throughout the world.
At the end of the reporting period, the U.S. represented the
Fund's largest single-country exposure at 36.3% of total net
assets, up from 31.5% on December 31, 1994. The U.S. stock
market performed extremely well in the first half of 1995 due
to a combination of falling interest rates, better-than-
expected corporate earnings, and an increased flow of assets
into mutual funds. Although U.S. stocks appeared expensive
compared with those in other markets, we were able to find
pockets of value when industry groups temporarily fell out of
favor with investors, and we purchased shares of some retail
and technology stocks at prices we considered attractive
relative to their earnings potential. Examples include DSC
Communications Corp., Federated Department Stores Inc., and
Toys R Us Inc.
Our second-largest geographic exposure was Europe, which
accounted for 32.6% of total net assets on June 30, 1995. As a
whole, the

weakness of the U.S. dollar versus many European currencies
enhanced the performance of our European stocks during the
reporting period. Although it was difficult to find many
bargain stocks in Europe, we did focus on some banks that
should benefit from improved balance sheets and a growing
demand for loans. An example is Sparbanken Sverige AB, which is
the central banking institution for the Swedish savings bank
system. We also found value in those utilities companies whose
cash flows have increased and whose costs have come down
through privatization and restructuring. We increased our
pharmaceutical exposure by purchasing additional shares of
Pharmacia AB, a Swedish holding company that has operating
divisions in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, consumer
products, beverages and foods.

Political instability and economic uncertainty created much
volatility in Asian stock markets during this period, and we
took advantage of price declines by purchasing shares of some
Hong Kong-based conglomerates that we believe should benefit
from development and growth in Asia. Examples include Cheung
Kong Holdings Ltd., Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., and Jardine
Strategic Holdings Ltd. As investors regained some confidence
in emerging markets, many of these stocks rebounded,
contributing to the Fund's strong performance during the
reporting period.
There are, of course, special risks involved with global
investing related to market, currency, economic, political, and
other factors; developing markets involve similar but
heightened risks. These risks are discussed in the prospectus.

At the end of the reporting period, equities represented 80.8%
of the Fund's total net assets, with the remaining 19.2% in
cash and other liquid assets. Our largest geographic
concentration of securities continued to be in Europe, which
represented 51.6% of total net assets on June 30, up from 44.0%

Political instability and economic uncertainty created
volatility in Asian stock markets during this period, and we
took advantage of price declines by purchasing shares of some

benefit from development and growth in Asia. Examples include
Daegu Bank Co. Ltd., Shinhan Bank Co. Ltd., Cheung Kong

markets, many Asian stocks rebounded in the second half of the
reporting period. The Fund's performance relative to other
international funds was also aided by its small
6
<PAGE>
amount of exposure to the struggling Japanese equity market.*
Latin American stocks experienced volatility throughout the
reporting period, largely due to fears of export declines in
Mexico and potential currency weakness in Argentina. This gave
us the opportunity to purchase several telecommunications
stocks at potentially bargain prices. For example, we added to
our positions in Telefonica de Argentina SA, Compania de
Telecomunicaciones de Chile SA, and Telefonos de Mexico SA
(Telmex). Although we are optimistic about the long-term
outlook for this region, we continue to be very selective by
conducting in-depth research before making any new stock
purchases.
There are, of course, special risks involved with global
investing related to market, currency, economic, political, and
other factors; developing markets involve similar but
heightened risks. These risks are discussed in the prospectus.

TEMPLETON The Templeton Asset Allocation Fund seeks a high level of total
ASSET return through a flexible policy of investing in stocks of
ALLOCATION companies in any nation, debt obligations of companies and
FUND governments of any nation, and money market instruments. The
Fund's assets are allocated among different investments
depending upon worldwide market and economic conditions.
As of June 30, 1995, the Fund's assets were invested as
follows: 62.3% equities, 33.7% bonds, and 4.0% short-term
obligations and other assets.
The U.S. stock market performed extremely well during the
reporting period, as a combination of falling interest rates,
better-than-expected corporate earnings, and an increased flow
of assets into mutual funds fueled a surge in stock prices. In
many respects, U.S. stocks appeared expensive compared with
those in other markets, but we were able to find bargains when
certain industry groups temporarily fell out of favor with
investors. For example, we purchased shares of some retail and
technology stocks at attractive prices relative to their long-
term earnings potential. These included

The weakness of the U.S. dollar versus many European currencies
enhanced the performance of our European stocks during the
reporting period. Although it was difficult to find many
bargain stocks in Europe, we did focus on some banks that
should benefit from improved balance sheets and a growing
demand for loans in this region. An example is Sparbanken
Sverige AB, which is the central banking institution for the
Swedish savings bank system. We also found value in those
utilities companies whose cash flows have increased and whose
costs have come down through privatization and restructuring.
We continued to add to our pharmaceutical exposure by
purchasing additional shares of Pharmacia AB, a Swedish holding
company that has operating divisions in pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology, consumer products, beverages and foods.
During this six-month period, we employed two strategies in our
fixed-income security selection. First, we emphasized the hard-
currency markets of Germany, Japan and the United States
because of their low debt levels and their relative resistance
to rising
8
<PAGE>
interest rates throughout 1994. The German mark and Japanese
yen were also among the strongest currencies versus the dollar,
which offered investors attractive returns. Second, we focused
on countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and
New Zealand, where monetary policy was expected to be the
tightest, and interest rates the highest. This strategy
benefited the Fund because, as growth slowed unexpectedly in
these markets, monetary policy proved to be tighter than
necessary, which caused interest rates to fall.
In implementing these two strategies, we generated a moderate
amount of turnover in the fixed-income portfolio. We increased
allocations to both Germany and Japan, and reduced exposure to
the United Kingdom toward the end of the period, due to
deteriorating political fundamentals and the Bank of England's
reluctance to tighten monetary policy further in light of
growing inflation. The proceeds were invested in French and
German bonds. Finally, we reduced our Canadian exposure, due to
federal budget concerns and political factors related to the
Quebec secessionist movement, and invested these proceeds in
U.S. fixed-income securities.
We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for global
investing. The moderate economic growth and stable inflationary
environment that emerged in the first half of 1995 may persist
into 1996, and although rates have already declined
significantly, further declines are possible in some areas.
This may be bullish for global stock and bond markets.
There are, of course, special risks involved with global
investing related to market, currency, economic, political, and
other factors; developing markets involve similar but
heightened risks. These risks are discussed in the prospectus.

TEMPLETON The Templeton Bond Fund seeks high current income through a
BOND FUND flexible policy of investing primarily in debt securities of
companies, governments and government agencies of various
nations throughout the world.
During the six-month reporting period, it was increasingly
evident that global economic growth was slowing significantly.
This slower growth exceeded the expectations of investors, and
a more positive environment ensued for global bond markets.
After increasing at an annualized rate of 5.1% in the fourth
quarter of 1994, U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) slowed to
just 2.7% in the first quarter of 1995, and growth in the
second quarter was considerably slower.* These reports indicate
that the U.S. economy has already responded to the Federal
Reserve Board's interest rate increases throughout 1994.
Japan's economic growth was essentially flat, as its GDP
increased at an annualized rate of 0.3% for the first quarter
of 1995.** Consumer spending remained sluggish, and the yen's
strength hampered economic growth throughout the reporting
period.

Another governmental plan to stimulate consumer spending is
being implemented, but apparently Japan's strong currency and
weak banking system are preventing a resurgence of business
activity.
Germany also felt growth pressures during this time, primarily
the result of the strong Deutschemark. Tax hikes and sluggish
wage increases have also made German consumers very cautious.
Seeking to alleviate some of this downward pressure, the
Bundesbank eased monetary policy in March, and the German
economy is now expected to slow next year to an annualized rate
of around 2.5%, down from the projected 3% in 1995.
We emphasize a broadly diversified investment style that
focuses on fixed-income securities from any of the world's
developed markets. In pursuing this strategy, we concentrate on
countries with the most attractive fundamentals for interest
rates, and attempt to adjust the portfolio's interest-rate
sensitivity in accordance with prevailing market fundamentals.
During the reporting period, we followed two strategies in
market selection. First, we emphasized the hard-currency
markets of Germany, Japan and the United States because of
their low debt levels and their relative resistance to rising
interest rates throughout 1994. The German mark and Japanese
yen were among the strongest currencies versus the dollar,
which consequently offered investors attractive returns. We
also focused on countries such as the United Kingdom,
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, where monetary policy was
expected to be the tightest, and interest rates the highest.
This second strategy benefited the Fund because, as growth
slowed unexpectedly in these markets, monetary policy proved to
be tighter than necessary, which caused interest rates to fall.

Adherence to these two strategies generated a moderate amount
of turnover in the Fund's portfolio. The Fund's allocations to
both Germany and Japan changed the most significantly. Our
German exposure increased from 5.0% of total net assets on
December 31, 1994, to 11.6% on June 30, 1995, while our
Japanese exposure increased from zero to 10.3% over the same
period. We reduced the Fund's holdings in the United Kingdom
toward the end of the period due to deteriorating political
fundamentals and the Bank of England's reluctance to tighten
monetary policy further in light of growing inflation. The
proceeds were invested in French and German bonds.
We believe that the moderate growth and stable inflationary
environment that emerged in the first half of 1995 may persist
into 1996, which should be a positive influence on interest
rates. Although rates have already declined significantly,
further declines are possible in some markets.
There are, of course, special risks involved with global
investing related to market, currency, economic, political, and
other factors; developing markets involve similar but
heightened risks. These risks are discussed in the prospectus.

TEMPLETON The Templeton Money Market Fund seeks current income, stability
MONEY MARKET of principal, and liquidity by investing in money market
FUND instruments with maturities not exceeding 397 days. The Fund
may invest in short-term U.S. government securities,
certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances,

Over the course of the six-month reporting period, the U.S.
economy showed signs of being on a path to slower growth. After
increasing at an annualized rate of 5.1% in the fourth quarter
of 1994, U.S. Gross Domestic Product slowed to just 2.7% in the
first quarter of 1995. At the same time, inflation remained
relatively subdued.
This past February, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan
Greenspan pointed to this slower growth rate as a reason to
keep monetary policy steady for the time being. However,
subsequent economic data caused concern that economic growth
was slowing more than desired, which led the Fed to lower
short-term interest rates on July 6, 1995. Now that the Fed has
moved toward a more accommodative monetary policy, we believe
further interest-rate decreases this year are possible.
Anticipating lower short-term interest rates, the Fund's
manager extended the portfolio's average maturity from 22.41
days on December 31, 1994 to 60.0 days on June 30, 1995. This
strategy contributed significantly to the Fund's performance
over the course of the reporting period. Furthermore, we
believe that the Fund is positioned to take advantage of any
future interest-rate moves by the Federal Reserve.
On June 30, 1995, the Fund's 7-day annualized yield was 5.49%
and the 30-day annualized yield was 6.85%.
*Please remember that an investment in the Fund is neither
insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and that there
can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Templeton Variable Products Series Fund (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business
trust and an open-end, diversified management investment company registered un-
der the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust is divided into five series
(the Funds), each with its own investment objective and policies. The five
funds of the Trust are: Templeton Stock Fund, Templeton International Fund,
Templeton Asset Allocation Fund, Templeton Bond Fund, and Templeton Money Mar-
ket Fund. The following summarizes the Trust's significant accounting policies.
a. Securities Valuations:
Securities held by Templeton Stock, International, Asset Allocation, and Bond
Funds listed or traded on a recognized national or foreign stock exchange or
NASDAQ are valued at the last reported sales prices on the principal exchange
on which the securities are traded. Over-the-counter securities and listed se-
curities for which no sale is reported are valued at the mean between the last
current bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and ap-
proved in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Securities held by Templeton
Money Market Fund are valued using the amortized cost valuation method, which
involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
b. Foreign Exchange Contracts:
Templeton Asset Allocation and Bond Funds may enter into forward exchange con-
tracts and currency option contracts in order to hedge against foreign exchange
risks.
(i) Forward Exchange Contracts: These contracts are valued daily and each
Fund's equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts,
is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and
unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
(ii) Currency Option Contracts: Options purchased are recorded as investments;
options written (sold) are accounted for as liabilities. When an option ex-
pires, the premium (original option value) is realized as a gain if the op-
tion was written or realized as a loss if the option was purchased. When the
exercise of an option results in a cash settlement, the difference between
the premium and the settlement proceeds is realized as a gain or loss. When
securities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisi-
tion cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the amount of the premium. When an
option is closed, the difference between the premium and the cost to close
the position is realized as a gain or loss.
c. Indexed Securities:
The Bond Fund and Asset Allocation Fund may invest in debt instruments in which
the principal and/or interest is dependent on another factor such as a yield
curve, currency exchange rates or commodity prices. The Fund's objective in
holding these notes, commonly called structured notes, is to tailor the Fund's
investment based on specific risk and returns it wishes to assume while avoid-
ing unwanted risk or change the Fund's exposure to a particular foreign ex-
change rate or the spread between two foreign exchange rates.
d. Foreign Currency Translations:
Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of
such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and
sales of portfolio securities and income items denominated in foreign curren-
cies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such
transactions. When the Fund purchases or sells foreign securities it will cus-
tomarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize currency risk from
the trade date to the settlement date of such transaction.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of for-
eign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and set-
tlement dates on securities transactions, the differences between the amounts
of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's
books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the end
of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
e. Income Taxes:
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision has been made for
income taxes.
f. Distributions to Shareholders:
Templeton Money Market Fund's net investment income (consisting principally of
interest accrued or discount earned less amortization of premium and estimated
expenses) is declared as a dividend daily, including weekends and holidays, im-
mediately prior to the determination of net asset value, and is paid monthly.
Templeton Stock, International, Asset Allocation, and Bond Funds normally pay
annual dividends representing substantially all of their net investment income
and distribute annually any net realized capital gains. Distributions to share-
holders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
g. Security Transactions, Investment Income, and Expenses:
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends on foreign securities
are recorded as soon as information is available to the Fund. Interest income
and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders, which
are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
During the six months ended June 30, 1995, Templeton Asset Allocation and Bond
Funds have been parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks,
primarily forward exchange contracts, futures contracts, and written currency
options, in order to minimize the risk to the Funds with respect to their port-
folio transactions from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S.
dollar and foreign currencies and interest rates. These instruments involve
market risks in excess of the amount recognized on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities; some of these risks have been minimized by offsetting contracts.
Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
their contracts, future movement in currency value and interest rates and con-
tract positions that are not exact offsets. The contract amounts indicate the
extent of the Funds' involvement in such contracts.
Forwards: A forward exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to
exchange different currencies at a specified rate at an agreed upon future
date.
At June 30, 1995, the Asset Allocation and Bond Funds had outstanding forward
exchange contracts for the purchase and sale of currencies as set out below.
These contracts are reported in the financial statements at each Fund's net eq-
uity, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the
reporting date and the forward exchange rates at the dates of entry into the
contract:
